Trained to keep your family safe.
Every nanny completes Kidsafe's online injury-prevention course, which we pay for. It covers the most common hazards at home: falls, burns, poisoning, choking, water safety and safe sleep.
Stacey reviews each family's health and care needs. Where a nanny needs specialised knowledge, such as caring for a child with anaphylaxis, we fund a recognised course through Kidsafe.
Care you can trust with your nearest and dearest.
Highly recommend Stacey from Nearest and Dearest Nannies!
Stacey is absolutely fantastic to deal with. She is friendly, professional, caring and genuinely passionate about what she does. She goes above and beyond to make the whole process easy and stress-free, giving you complete peace of mind knowing your little ones are in good hands.
If you’re looking for someone reliable, trustworthy and genuinely caring, I couldn’t recommend Stacey and Nearest and Dearest Nannies highly enough!
We can’t recommend Stacey and Nearest and Dearest Nannie’s enough! Stacey is so caring, trustworthy and passionate about what she does. She has a natural way with children and truly understands how important it is to find the right fit for each family. It’s lovely to see her turning her passion for nannying into a business helping other families find great nannies. Highly recommend!
Stacey came into our lives shortly after our second son was born, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to help us navigate those early years with two little kids. She quickly became an important part of our family, and we were incredibly lucky to have her work with us for so long.

Stacey was wonderful with both of our children. Her role as our nanny would often see her taking our toddler to swimming lessons, gymnastics, and other activities, while confidently caring for our newborn. Stacey helped us through many important milestones, from toilet training our eldest to sleep training and baby led weaning with our youngest. As a new mum of two, knowing that Stacey had previous experience with families with multiple children ranging in various age groups, as well as the knowledge and confidence to handle everything from feeding to first aid, gave me such peace of mind. (As a couple that work in healthcare, Stacey’s background in Nursing and Midwifery provided that extra reassurance.)
Stacey was also a huge help around the house, taking care of laundry, dishes, meal prep, cleaning, sterilising, and preparing bottles, all without ever needing to be asked. She naturally knew what needed to be done and how to make herself helpful from the moment she walked through the door.
Stacey would plan engaging activities for the boys at home, bathe and feed them, and confidently managed both of their daily routines, including settling them both to sleep.
Something that stood out about Stacey was how calm and reassuring she was. Those early days with two young children often felt overwhelming, but Stacey was always a steady, caring presence. She never seemed fazed, and having someone I completely trusted to take care of my boys made such a difference. She was also always open to feedback and happy to adapt to any changes we wanted to make to the kids’ routines.
Stacey has an incredible work ethic and genuinely goes above and beyond. She even travelled overseas with us to help care for the boys during important family events, which says so much about the trust we have in her and how much we valued having her by our side.
Most importantly, both of our boys absolutely adore Stacey and are always so excited to see her. She became a really important part of their lives, and ours, during the early years. We will always be grateful for the love, care, and support she gave our family.
